Pit Bull Bites Two-Year-Old Norwalk Girl on Face
The child was brought to Norwalk Hospital at about 8:45 a.m. with an open wound to her face.
A horrified Norwalk mother and grandmother found the latter's pit bull in a bed with her granddaughter Wednesday after the dog had bit the two-year-old on her face.
The child was rushed to at about 8:45 a.m. where doctors tended to an open wound on the left side of the child's face, police said.
The girl's mother and grandmother were in the Stewart Ave. residence but not in the same room as the child and dog when the incident happened, according to a Norwalk Police spokesman.
